Trailer For The William Shatner Documentary YOU CAN CALL ME BILL
Legion M has released a trailer for the upcoming William Shatner documentary film titled You Can Call Me Bill, which takes a look back at the life of the iconic actor. Legion M says they are “uniting fans to celebrate William Shatner's 93rd birthday with a nationwide theatrical release of the documentary about his life."
The film is described as “an intimate exploration of the life and career of William Shatner. From his unforgettable portrayal of Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek to his diverse accomplishments of a 70+ year career across film, television, and the arts, the film captures the essence of Shatner's journey and his extraordinary contributions to the entertainment industry. This doc was entirely financed by over 1,200 fans via Legion M's innovative ‘Fan-First-Financing,’ which allowed people to invest as little as $100 to own a financial stake in the film and any profits it generates.”
The film is directed by acclaimed doc filmmaker Alexandre O. Philippe (78/52, Memory: The Origins of Alien), and it looks like a solid doc that fans of Shatner will enjoy. The doc is said to “strip away all the masks he has worn to embody countless characters, and reveals the man behind it all.”
I was introduced to it while watching episodes of the original Star Trek series and The Twilight Zone. I’ve enjoyed a lot of his work over the years, and this should be a fun watch!
You Can Call Me Bill will be released in select theaters starting on March 22nd, 2024.
